I have noticed that some of your users is copying images of [http://nl.wikigta.org WikiGTA.nl]. The moderator [[User:GTA4PC|GTA4PC]] for example; [http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/File:Katana_vc.png Katana vc.png], [ | I have noticed that some of your users is copying images of [http://nl.wikigta.org WikiGTA.nl]. The moderator [[User:GTA4PC|GTA4PC]] for example; [http://gta.wikia.com/wiki/File:Katana_vc.png Katana vc.png], [{{SERVER}}/wiki/File:Knife_sa.png Knife sa.png], [{{SERVER}}/wiki/File:Sawn-off_sa.png Sawn-off.png], [{{SERVER}}/wiki/File:Silenced_sa.png Silenced sa.png], [{{SERVER}}/wiki/File:Machete.png Machete.png], [{{SERVER}}/wiki/File:Tec9LCS.JPG Tec9LCS.JPG], etc. I have renderd them, so I can say, I've even took the screenshot used for the Machete. Which is really hard, since it has no spawnpoint. Even when they have a logo on them, he uses them. But instead of the hole image, he just cuts a piece out of it; [http://nl.wikigta.org/wiki/Image:BeachPatrol4.jpg Our version], [{{SERVER}}/wiki/File:Paramedic.jpg GTA4PC's cutout]. Hell, almost all images of your Beach Patrol are ours; [http://nl.wikigta.org/wiki/Beach_Patrol_(GTA_Vice_City_Stories)#Screenshots Our page] vs. [[Beach Patrol|yours.]] But wait, by the rewards you get linked to Sunshine Autos.. But wait again, [{{SERVER}}/wiki/File:SunshineAutosVCS.jpg your picture] of the Vice City Stories version.. Where do I have seen that before? Ohyeah; [http://nl.wikigta.org/wiki/Image:Sunshine_Autos_1984.jpg here]. This one has been stolen by [[User:Mcanmoocanu|Mcanmoocanu]]. Who has also stole a lot. Look for example on the [[Characters in GTA Liberty City Stories]] page, and our page; [http://nl.wikigta.org/wiki/Personages_(GTA_Liberty_City_Stories) Characters (GTA Liberty City Stories)]. I can live with one image, but this is just insane! --[[User:ASPHALT|ASPHALT]] 12:57, 11 July 2009 (UTC) | ||
:Thanks for your message. [[:Category:Screenshots]] of [[Grand Theft Auto|GTA]] games are copyright to [[Rockstar Games]], not the person who saved the screenshot. Using those screenshots on this wiki qualifies as Fair Use, regardless of who took them. It is not possible to simply re-copyright a screenshot and claim owenership. To this end, we are happy for our users to use existing screenshots on this wiki. However, where there has been significant artistic alteration to the screenshot, then we would usually not allow that to be copied here without permission. This could include labelling [[:Category:maps|maps]], or collaging several images together. On top of this, we have a specific agreement with the [[:de:|German GTA Wikia]] which means we can share ''all'' our images. If any of the images you link to don't qualify as fair use, and WikiGTA owns the copyright, and permission is refused (from staff) to use them, then I can ensure they are removed. I hope this makes sense, but let me know if you have any questions. [[User:Gboyers|Gboyers]] <sup>[[User_talk:Gboyers|talk]]</sup> 18:08, 11 July 2009 (UTC) | :Thanks for your message.
